Hand Sewn Motorcycle Seat with Pleats?

Super cool! You may even be able to figure out how to backtrack through the foam as you get used to working with it; Listen to your needles!

i have never made that type of leather project but to me the use of vinyl underneath would present a problem if the seat does get wet and need to dry out because the vinyl material would keep any moisture from escaping.  If your top layer is heavy enough i would think that could lead to an issue with mold or leather not drying at all because of the lack of downward drainage...i dunno just a thought.

Did you ever end up making this seat? Would love to see it and any progress photos you may have. I am attempting almost the exact same thing and am just going by what I think is going to work.
